The ride is soooooooo much better than the Ibiza FR, even with the 18's. It's the rear suspension I think that does it. The Ibiza seems to not have rear suspension like a hard tail Harley Davidson :lol:

Also the brakes are soooooo much better too, those Ibiza FR brakes are poop.

Had a fiddle with the bluetooth on the way home but I forgot my Ipod so Johnathan Ross it was all the way home (95miles)

Used 1/4 of a tank 36mpg on the way there in the Ibiza and 1/8 of a tank 46mpg on the way home :shrug:

It reals in the horizon with no fuss at all.

Can you spot my first mod, well I didn't do it, the dealer did it for me...............

OK so it's actually a Cupra grill then. and it's 35 quid :think:

The mirror covers are a cupra part, so you may as well complete the set. I just have the grille, as I like the silver mirrors and don't want to associate it with the cupra, as it's not a cupra.

Yeah, I'm not doing the cupra wish it was thing. I could have bought a 30k mile cupra with BTTC kit for the same money but they like the fuel too much and the road tax is silly these days.

I think the cupra gril looks cool so I will look into this.

I need to paint the hubs as they are already rusty (common problem eh?) and I'm going to paint the calipers too. Black methinks.

I see that and think "Let the Modding Begin" lol

nice choice of colour. economy wise it'll be about 35-45mpg.

was doing 35-37 @ 90-95mph yesterday which chrisboyle999 up my chuff lol

Chris's cupra is an epic car. stupidly quick, would have eaten my car alive if he wasn't following me for directions :)
